Family Reunification – Sample Text

To report a missing child during a disaster, contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), which operates the National Emergency Child Locater Center at 1-800-843-5678. Anyone who finds a child who is separated from their parents or legal caregivers should first contact the local police. In addition, individuals can use the Unaccompanied Minors Registry to enter basic information for the child, which should ideally include a recent photo. No matter how you report, please indicate to NCMEC if the missing child has a disability or access or functional need.
